Alrighty then! It's been 11 months since we posted and I feel like it's about time to reunite at the Buffalo Tap like old times!

I even looked up what time we met there the last time. It was August 15 of last year, at noon. So we're meeting at noon again to stay consistent!

And I'm setting the date for July 15th to give all you RTXers some time to recover before we get together. And that happens to be Community Day!

Anyone up for it? Please let me know in the comments by July 13th. Put it on your calendar so you don't forget! If the date doesn't work, we can definitely change it, let me know! If you need my phone number for any reason, let me know and I can message you it. Hopefully people still come to the site and see this before then...

Hey everyone. As with every RTX, the drive to attend RT community gatherings spikes like crazy after the convention. That bug has a personal loft in my brain, so how about a very short notice gathering for old time sake?

@busterblade and myself, @Newbs will be at the Surly Brewery located on 520 Malcolm Ave SE, Minneapolis, MN 55414 on Saturday, July 9th at 11:30am. This location is all ages, but obviously you won't be able to drink a beer if you are underage. There are sodas and water for those under 21 though.

With the Lazer Team screenings wrapping up in Minnesota, this is where I bow out of organizing RT MN events. I will be removing the RT MN Twitter account from my phone, and I will keep the data for it so when/if someone wants to step up and carry the torch, they don’t start from scratch.

You can contact me on the Rooster Teeth site or through my personal Twitter account regarding if you want to start heading up the group. I’d be glad to help you out whether it be for RT MN or for your own group if you have questions.

It has been almost five years, with many ups and downs. If I had to, I’d do it all over again in a heartbeat. I hope that someone out there takes up the mantle for this group.

We've got two meet-ups happening on January 27th before the Lazer Team screenings begin!

For Edina's showing at 7:00pm, @zack will be hosting a Cheesecake Factory at 2715 Southdale Circle Edina, MN, dinner/gathering located right next to the movie theater in the Southdale Center starting at 5:30pm CT. If you'd like to attend that, please let us know in the comments below so he can get a good idea on how many people will be showing up!

With Roseville's 7:00pm screening, @Newbs will be hosting a meetup at Grumpy's Bar and Grill at 2801 Snelling Avenue Roseville, MN, just a few miles north of the AMC Roseville 14 movie theater starting at 4:30pm CT. They've plenty of space for various sizes of groups, and we'd love to hear if you're interested in participating!

In Apple Valley, they've got a 7:00pm screening as well! How about a few people eating at Red Robin Gourmet Burgers on 15560 Cedar Avenue beginning at 4:45pm CT? There's been quite a few people that have expressed interest, and @Kylock needs some company! We can make the reservation and have you guys seated by 4:45pm there!

If you are attending other screenings, and want to get together with other RT Community members, we'll help promote where you'd want to meet up!

Taking a page from RT Michigan, we feel like this is an ample opportunity for us all to spread the word around for these eight different screenings that are going on in two weeks! We've got Roseville, Eden Prairie, Apple Valley, St. Paul, St. Cloud, Inver Grove Heights, Duluth, and Edina screenings! There are a ton of RT community members that are out there in the great state of Minnesota.

However, it may be possible that a lot of these awesome people don't know about RT MN!

Shame on them right?

No, they just haven't been told about us. That's why we would like to have a few people out there that are going to the different screenings to spread the word! End up chatting to one or two new people while you're there? Mention us! We're always looking for new people to join in on the fun that we have, and with @Newbs stepping down soon, we need help in the organizing front!

If you'd like to volunteer to be what is essentially a whistle blower for RT MN, please leave a comment below! We can see what we can do regarding how to spread the word, whether it be print out little cards to hand out to people with our information on it, or just screaming from the roof tops of the theater that there's a group that does awesome events on a regular basis (we suggest you don't do that, might get in trouble).

We know there are a ton of screenings for the January 27th evening. We're going to be in Roseville, Apple Valley, Eden Prairie, and Edina around the same time. We would love to host a big get together with all four locations somewhere, but let's be honest, that'd be insanely difficult to figure out, let alone see how many people are capable of doing so.

With that said, the organizer of RT MN is going to be attending the Roseville screening, and there just happens to be a great bar and grill called Grumpy's just about 2 miles north of the AMC theater in Roseville. We'll be reserving a table starting at 4:30pm to get some food, drinks, and have some fun with fellow Rooster Teeth community members prior to heading to the screening at 7:00pm!

If you wish to attend, please feel free to comment here and let us know so we can have enough seats available for you!

If you are attending one of the other screenings throughout the week, and want to get something going near the theater, please contact us with your idea and we can see what we can do! We would be relying on you to figure out the location and the like, and we would help promote the crap out of it!

So, as of right now, all four of the Twin Cities screenings are sold out! There are 683 of you guys going to see it in four different cities! That's incredible.

A fifth screening just opened up in Bemidji for a January 28th screening starting at 6:30pm CT, and tickets can be purchased here. If you are up in that area, buy your tickets now! They need 53 people to confirm the screening and have until January 21st to hit that minimum!

As for the other screenings we applied for, we have yet to hear back from Tugg. It is out of our hands at the current moment, but if you want a screening in your area, and want to make Tugg aware of it even more, apply for a screening! Just because we sent those three out, doesn't mean they will officially happen. Tugg needs to be made aware that there are so many of us up here!

So, we're looking to get some more screenings available for Lazer Team! We had a poll go up on Twitter yesterday, and as of right now, here are the totals.

44 - NW Twin Cities

40 - Rochester

32 - Duluth

15 - Mankato

We've been getting requests for a further north event as well, and I think with those numbers shown (hopefully everyone that voted was actually willing to attend) we are going to be aiming for all three, NW Twin Cities, Rochester, and Duluth!!!

When we get those up and running, we'll be sure to post their websites here and on twitter!

Eden Prairie just met their goal last night, so I'm sure it will sell out soon! Can't believe how many of you are out there!

So, in case you missed it, Roseville and Apple Valley’s screenings of Lazer Team on January 27th have officially sold out!!

Edina has been confirmed to be happening, and Eden Prairie is very close to hitting the minimum as well.

The elephant in the room is that some people got tickets for one of the venues, and others another venue. Yes, that means we will be divided. Hindsight shows that we should have just stuck with promoting the Edina location, but judging on past experiences, we simply didn’t know how many of you guys were out there in the great state of Minnesota!

As far as getting together prior to the screening, that will be up to the people going to the specific locations. For the Roseville, MN screening, there will be a meet up for dinner a few miles north of the theater called Grumpy’s Bar & Grill. @Newbs will be hosting this one. If others care to have a gathering prior to the screening at the Edina, Apple Valley, and Eden Prairie (pending) locations, please contact Newbs and he will gladly help promote it! You will have to confirm with the restaurant if they do reservations, and once you schedule it, we will promote the living crap out it!

This is a huge undertaking by RT to provide this movie to so many of us, let’s have a party for it and celebrate!
